The Enemy Of My Enemy Is A Terrorist: The Left’s Sick New Twist

Hatred can make for some strange alliances. People who would ordinarily have nothing in common suddenly cheer for the same side, overlooking differences they once considered intolerable. Sometimes the only thing holding them together is a shared enemy.

Consider the progressive activists who have expressed support for Hamas. Many champion women’s rights, gay rights, and individual freedom, yet find themselves defending an organization that rejects those very principles. They aren’t necessarily embracing Hamas’s beliefs but do seem to hate Israel more than they object to what Hamas stands for. That’s a troubling way to decide who’s worthy of support.
